So are y'all getting the snow in your corner of the world like we are here? Jasmine the Writing Cat has decided that there's no reason for her to ever get off my lap again because there's cold and snow and wet things out in the big, bad world that she wants absolutely nothing to do with. She likes to go outside and explore...six months of the year.

I don't really blame her - I'm a lot like her. I like to sit and watch the snow come down, as if I'm living in a giant snow globe. I've decided that being an author is a great profession for people who live in snowy climates.

On the writing front, my cover designer is in the middle of designing the cover for the free novella that you, dear reader, will receive completely free, simply as a thank you for hanging out with me. The early mock-ups look great - I can't wait to show you the final cover!

While you're waiting for another Long Valley novel 🙂 here are some other books to check out!

A Crazy Homecoming by Cate Baylor

After a boardroom meltdown, Daphne Simms gets dumped and fired by her boss-slash-lover. Humiliated and adrift, she runs to the only true home she's ever known--her grandmother's rural Texas ranch, called Crazy. She knows a ranch is a far cry from corporate life, but she certainly doesn't expect to be greeted by a cranky, sexy cowboy shoving a shotgun in her face.

Mick Williams has lived and worked on Crazy for twenty years. Though he's utterly devoted to Daphne's grandmother, he'll be damned if he's gonna let a city slicker like Daphne sashay in and disrupt his nice, quiet life. When the future of Crazy is threatened, Mick and Daphne must work together to keep the ranch afloat, but the heat of their attraction makes it more complicated than either of them imagines.

When their physical and emotional connection deepens, Mick tries to turn away from the woman he's convinced he doesn't deserve, so Daphne has to pull out all the stops to convince him that the heart of Crazy is big enough for the both of them.
